Summary
In congregational obligatory prayers, the imam recites the qunut nazilah aloud (jahar), whether the prayer is normally audible (Fajr, Maghrib, Isha) or silent (Zuhr, Asr). A person praying alone recites it silently (sirr). The congregation is encouraged to say amin aloud to the imam's supplication and to recite the praises silently. If a follower cannot hear the imam, he recites his own qunut silently.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
